Harriet the Spy
By Louise Fitzhugh

I have read Harriet the Spy, watched the movie and listened to the book on tape. I don't seem to tire of this story.

My daughter was a writer from an early age, and has been known to carry around a journal, to record events and ideas. We were both devastated when Harriet's classmates got their hands on her notebook and read about her impressions of them.

If you have a tendency to spy or are curious about the world, you will not be disappointed by Hariet the Spy.

What would you do if someone discovered your secrets? Would you get even? Hide in your room, and never come out? Would you apologize and write good things about people in the school paper? There was a hard lesson to be learned, but Hariet learned that being so honest about her feelings toward others doesn't always pay. How about the golden rule?
